Title:
  Installer reports: No root filesystem is defined

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Prerequisites:
  - disk with Ubuntu Natty already installed

  Follow these steps to reproduce:
  - start installation
  - when you get to the Allocate disk space, select "Erase Ubuntu Natty and reinstall" and click forward
  - On next screen click Advanced partitioning tool
  - Do nothing and just click Back 
  - You are back at Allocate disk space, again select "Erase Ubuntu Natty and reinstall" and click forward
  - Click Install now

  An error message "No root filesystem is defined" will show. From this
  point on it is impossible to continue the installation. I managed to
  get around this one time. After the first error I went and manually
  selected partition that should be used as root and told installer to
  format it.

  If you stay and play around in partitioner and jump back and forth
  between the screens, installer will crash and die a horrible death.
